Pre-Ballet

This class continues working on all the elements of Creative Dance as listed above, but also introduces the basic Ballet positions and preparatory steps. It focuses more attention on musicality, phrasing, terminology, and Ballet etiquette. Progressing levels of our Pre-Ballet program gradually increase the emphasis on Ballet technique, building the grace, poise and strength required to execute the more demanding technical work in our Ballet program. Beginning students start in Pre-Ballet I. Promotion to levels II and III is by instructor recommendation.
